Buying this tomorrow, I'm ready to enjoy this 1969 tractor.

What model is this?

It's hard to tell from the picture but as Jim Becker said, it might be an offset IH LoBoy Cub. As Don said, it's not a bulldozer. I would add don't expect a lot from this 10 hp tractor. A major weak point for loader operation is the manual clutch. Not built for this type work and easily destroyed doing loader work. But, check the serial number on the data plate on the lower right side where the steering column connects to the front axle housing (bolster). Using that number will allow a more precise date from the information tab on the home page of the forum. If the data plate is missing an approximate year can be determined by the casting codes on the major parts of the tractor. JMHO Stan
EDIT: Comparing the loader feature is like using a motorized wheel barrow is what most comments are on this forum. BTW, Welcome to the forum.

In my cub’s past someone broke a mounting flange by the radiator probably from pushing snow to hard and hit a rock. What they did was weld up a custom bracket to transfer that front flange to the rear flange/bell housing. It has worked wonderfully. My FIL had it before me and bought it in the ‘80’s so no idea when it was done.
 
Hi,
Below is a page from the 1965 Cub and LoBoy operator's manual showing where the serial number plate is. The plate originally has the tractor model on it too.
Sometimes the words on the plate are faded away, or someone has painted over the plate, and you can't read it. The serial number is stamped in the plate. You may need a light to see the serial number.

Nice looking rig! You'll probably want to install a pair or two of rear wheel weights as ballast to offset the loader. It should be a handy tool to have in your shed.

Ditto. I would start with two sets. My IH1000 was not really usable on a cub or my 130 with anything in the bucket with no rear weights.

The Fast Hitch was extra cost on Cubs and LoBoys.
The Fast Hitch is handy, you don't have to use tools to attach or remove rear implements.
You just back up to the implement, and the point enters the hitch socket, then the hitch latch closes, and the implement is attached.
The implement pictures Don posted above show the point on each implement.
Below is a page from the 1965 Cub and LoBoy operator's manual showing the LoBoy Fast Hitch.

The hitch in your picture has a different part than it originally had. The round bar that the pull bar slides on was like in the manual picture above. The pull bar can move from side to side, to aid turning when using implements.
The curved down bar is made for probably the rear rotary mower, so the PTO shaft to the mower can go through the hitch.
The implements are usually different some for a Cub or a LoBoy, since the tractors are different heights.
It looks like someone has raised the seat on your LoBoy, using wood pieces, I guess they are.
The wood pieces can be removed, if you want, if the seat fits without them.
I sent you a message, you get to it at the upper right of the page.
 
Forget whose it is but everytime I see a Cub with the loader, I think of the member who has a loader and a backhoe on their cub, and how that may be handy....
Nice tractor.

Rick Prentice had the Cub with a backhoe and one arm loader he later removed the backhoe and gave the Cub to his son.
